Judging cria fleeces from the outside colour is the wrong way – Kensmyth Alpaca

When you look at an alpaca it is easy to think it is the colour of the fleece you see on the exterior but that is not the case. Cria often catch breeders out in this way because the amniotic fluid colours the external fleece creating a tipping look and then the growth from the skin itself can change dramatically too.. see how you get on..

  the outside colour..

The inside colours and then different at the skin..

easy when you know how..
